Rotate the crankshaft so that number one piston is at top dead center on the compression stroke. Refer to System Operation, Testing and Adjusting, "Finding Top Center Position for No.1 Piston" for the correct procedure.
Remove plug (2) from the cylinder block and remove O-ring seal (1) from the plug.
Ensure that Tooling (C) is installed in Hole (Y) in the cylinder block. Use Tooling (C) in order to lock the crankshaft in the correct position.
Ensure that Tooling (B) is installed into Hole (X) in camshaft gear (3). Use Tooling (B) in order to lock the camshaft in the correct position.Note: Ensure that the gears are marked in order to show alignment. Refer to Illustration 3.
Use Tooling (A) in order to lock the fuel injection pump gear in the correct position. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Fuel Injection Pump" for the correct procedure.
Illustration 4 g01994556
Use Tooling (D) in order to loosen threaded inserts (5) on all rocker arms (6). Unscrew threaded inserts (5) on all rocker arms (6) until all valves are fully closed.Note: Failure to ensure that ALL threaded inserts are fully unscrewed can result in contact between the valves and pistons.
